Cherished Belongings.

" That velvet sachet contains a number of letters written me by my old schoolmate—dear little Alice \ You'll remember her? I wonder where she is now? And this fine old gold chain— well, my sweet mother gave me that on my 16ih birthday, and, naturally, when I look at it, my mind travels back many years." The letters and chain were two itemß in the «ffects of Mrs Barry, who was showing them t6 her dearest friend. The scene is now changed. In this instance, Mrs Lardelli is just running through her belongings, and gazes with eyes full of affection upon a little wooden box. She lives at 162 Dowling- street, Sydney, and will tell you that the box once contained the famous specific Dr William's Pink Pills for Pale People, which raised her from a condition of severe suffering to health and happiness. ISia Lardelli, a fine handsome woman of about 35 "years of age, said to a reporter of the Balmain Observer, who called upon her to get particular! of an illness through, which she had just passed, " I am quite well now, and don't think I ever enjoyed batter health— thanks to Dr William's Pink Pills for Pale People ; but I was very bad indeed. The first start of my ilness was lost of appetite, and as I also began to fe«l a bit low in spirits occasionally, and- also growing rather pale. I went to a chemist. ' Why,' he said, ' you're anastnic,' and he showed me in the looking-glass how white my gums were getting, also the bad color of the inside of my eyelids. Ha said, • You want a strong tonic,' and he gave me one Howevar, I continued to get paler and more sickly-looking, my appetite grew gradually lesa and less till I felt I hardly cared whether 1 ate anything or not, and when I did manage to g«t ft little food down, it seemed to stick like a hard lump on my chest. I was losing flesh rapidly, and was growing so weak that I oould hardly get out of bed in the mornings, and when I did do a little work, it knocked me up completely, and I had to go and lie down on the bed to recover. At last every thing became a troubla to me, and I got into a low, hopeless sort of F.tato, and hardly cared what became of me. Nearly all the time I had suffered from a peculiar dull paip in my back, so I made an effort and went to another chemist and asked him what thi3 pain rnunnt. He told me j my liver was out of order, and he gavo me , I some pills and medicine . but these did me ■ no good at al'. Altogether, I suppose I I must have tried a dozen different kinds of | medicine without any good effec*. You i have no idea what a wretched state I was j in by this time. I used to lie down all day { 1 on the sofa, hardly able to move anything j '. but my eyes. However, I could read, and , it was because of an account of a remark- ! able cure that I saw in- the Daily Telegraph ! that I decided to try Dr Williams' Pink ' Pills for Pale People. I sent my daughter for a box In less than a week's time there I was a great difftronco, I can assure you. | My friends congratulated me on a cuanga j j for the better in my appearance. I I continued taking the pills, and very i soon I wai able to do a little work ! again. My appatite came back, and a j j slight tinge of color appeared in my cheeks. < I got slowly, but eurely, better every day. j and in about two months' time was ' comp'etely cured, and felt as brisk and lively* as a girl of 18. As I have said before, Dr. V\ illiams' Pink Pills for Pale People did this for me when lots of other medicines failed to do me any good at all, and I shall always recommend them to ray friends. I give my full permission to the Dr. Williams* Medicine Company to publish the facts of my cure wherever and whenever they may think fit. »E. LARDELLI." The genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold only in wooden boxes, about two ; inches in length, each of which is encircled ; by a blue warning label. The outside wrapper has the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red. ! In cases of doubt it is better to send direct ! to Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, j Wellington N.Z-, enclosing the price, 3a. a box, or six boxes for 15s. 9d These pill are not a purgative, and they contain nothing that could injure the most delicate. As a spring medicine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills far surpass all other remedies. Their action on the blood and nerves is prompt, and the effect is wonderful. Lassitude gives way to a feeling of renewed energy, and the lurking Eeeda of disease, resulting from the indoor confinement of the winter months, are speedily expelled from the system. Theso Pills are so^d only in boxes, the wrapper avound which bears the full trade mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink P. lls for Pale People." A pill, even if colored pink, offered in any other form, is a fraudulent imitation, and should bo promptly refused. Buyers will protect themselves against imposition by bearing this in micd. •' MAKING BOTH ENDS MEET," is rather a difficult task in life with many but the expense of good cooking is reduced 1 to a minimum by using the SUN BAKING POWDER, purer and cheaper than most others. Give it a trial. A STEAM WHISTLE Need' not run full blast all the time to let ' you know that it is heard, and it is not 1 necessary that we should be always adver--1 tising by noisy statements to buy ■' Salsaline," the great food preservative, for once p tried always used, as it is the only reliable ood preservative sold. The famous Victory Sewing' Machine is ' the latest and most perfect of Sewing Mal chines. It is adapted for household and ' work-room use, and is capable of porformI ing the most artistic fancy-work. The prices vary from six guineas, and any of L the machines can be purchased on the >> easiest of time payments from the New > j&wlaod Clothing Factory, the local OR«ncy.
